The Man who Mistook his Laptop for his Life

The story so far?
See here.

His best suit. New shirt and new tie. Wallet, phone and Blackberry. The clutch of business cards he had collected over the last few weeks which needed to be scanned into his computer. His laptop. Let's go.

Corporate HQ, even on this special day was quiet at 0645. The seminar room looked good. He slurped his coffee. He really felt absolutely awful. And unfortunately he knew he looked it, too. Only 5h to go then rest and a doctor. And await official order and step-up to the board.

In the quiet of the room he stepped through his presenation. His voice was weak; he felt frail. This was crazy; he'd gone too far. But he couldn't leave it now. One by one the team arrived; they all agreed he should be in bed.

The client team arrived: expectant.

He sat quietly. Jim gave a great 10 minute introduction and then handed over to Allan. As Allan got up, he stumbled, re-gained his balance. He laughed it off, stepped up to the podium for slide 1 then collapsed.

To be continued Monday next week at 1500.
